NOVEL NEXT Chapter 62
The haunted town is not far from here
In the case of borrowing a carriage on the road, it arrived quickly.
On the way, Su Mu also began to tell Tanjiro about the 'ghost', and before, although he mentioned it to Tanjiro, it was not specific.
............
"Mujun, you're here too."
'Imada Yuna' looked at Su Mu who came and also greeted him.
Looking at the tired expression on the other party's face, Su Mu also smiled and said: "Come and help, my strength is limited, and I may not be able to provide much help in the night battle, but during the day, I can help you search for the traces of evil ghosts, and maybe it can relieve you of some burden." "
"Thank you so much."
'Imada Yuna' said with emotion, and at the same time, he also began to introduce Su Mu to the 'hermit' who was in charge of this village and town.
The 'hermit' in charge of this village and town is an old man with a relatively rickety body, and in addition to the old man, there are also several young people, all of whom are 'hermits' who have been transferred from the neighborhood and are here to assist.
"In the next few days, I'm going to trouble you."
'Yuna Imada' bowed slightly, he would have to rest for a while, recuperate for the night's squatting, and would not search with the 'hermit'.
In fact, the 'hermit' almost never acts at night, after all, the 'hermit' doesn't have too high combat power, and once you encounter evil ghosts at night, it will be an extremely dangerous thing.
........................
When 'Imada Yuna' went to rest, Su Mu chatted with the rickety old man who was in charge of this place.
From the mouth of the old man, he also roughly understands the specific situation.
Before 'Imada Yuna' led the team to this town, the old man had been investigating for many days, but there was no breakthrough discovery.
Even though 'Imada Yuna' led the team and had the help of other 'hermits', they still failed to find the evil spirit, which shows that the evil ghost is very hidden.
............
Because Su Mu was here for the first time, the old man in charge of a strip personally took Su Mu to understand the situation in the town.
Along the way, the streets look very depressed, but through some traces of the streets, it can be seen that not long ago, the town should have been quite lively.
Obviously, the frequent disappearances of young girls have cast a shadow over the town.
Even when he walked on the road, he looked hurried and quite vigilant.
"Hey, if you don't get rid of the evil ghosts, I'm afraid that everyone with a daughter in the town will have to move away."
The old man looked at this scene and sighed slightly.
In the end, it was the old man who lived in the town, and when he saw the once lively town slowly falling lonely because of the evil ghost incident, his heart was naturally sad.
"There's no way around it."
Su Mu whispered, and at the same time comforted: "As long as the evil ghosts are removed, the once prosperous town will be restored again." "
"What Mujun said is also right, so we must find the traces of evil spirits as soon as possible."
The old man gritted his teeth.
"Uncle ..."
Just as Su Mu continued to talk with the old man and continued to learn about the situation in the town, Tanjiro, who had been following behind him, pulled the corner of his clothes.
"What's wrong?"
Su Mu turned around.
"I smell like I'm here... The smell of some rot is very unpleasant. "
Tanjiro pointed to a courtyard he had just passed.
Hearing Tanjiro's words, the old man also stopped, and his cloudy eyes also looked at the place Tanjiro was pointing at.
"Here, have you investigated?"
Su Mu looked at the old man.
"No one lives here, before, there was a mother and son living here, the mother is blind, the son is also disabled, life is very difficult, almost rely on the surrounding neighbors to give alms, a year ago, the mother was sick, the son has taken his mother out to see a doctor, has not come back for a long time, I heard, the mother and son have died outside, so this room has been empty for a long time, has not been lived."
The old man thought for a moment and said.
After hearing this, Su Mu also nodded, and looked at Tanjiro again: "What smell did you smell." "
"It feels kind of like... The smell of rotting corpses. "
Tanjiro thought for a moment, a little uncertain.
"Let's go in and have a look."
Su Mu spoke to the old man.
Su Mu naturally knew the sensitivity of Tanjiro's nose, but he knew that Tanjiro could even smell a lie from his nose later.
The old man hesitated slightly, nodded his head, and then ordered a young man next to him to climb over the wall and open the door from the inside.
Because it was daytime, he was not worried about encountering evil spirits, and Su Mu also walked in with Tanjiro.
There is a courtyard in the house, and the courtyard is full of fallen leaves, and it seems that there have been no traces of man-made for a long time.
Entering the living room, the room was also covered with dust.
It seems that as the old man said, it has really been a long time since anyone lived.
Seeing this scene, Su Mu couldn't help but look at Tanjiro.
Tanjiro also sniffed his nose, and then, as if following the smell, opened the door next to the living room.
Suddenly, a pungent rancid smell came to his face, making Su Mu even choke and retreat, pinching his nose with one hand and fanning him hard with the other.
"Ah!!!h
A terrifying voice exploded, making people feel creepy.
Tanjiro, who entered the house, had a bloodless face, as if he had seen a ghost, and stumbled out.
Su Mu and the old man hurriedly came to the inner room, and a disgusting stench came to their faces, which was suffocating.
They couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses with their hands, but the sight in front of them prevented them from taking their eyes off.
On the bed in the inner room, there lay a creepy old woman, her body rotting and fat maggots wriggling around her body.
However, the terrifying old woman's skin was still covered with fresh white and tender new skin, like the new tender skin of a young girl, and these skins were in stark contrast to the old woman's carrion, which made people shudder.
However, the horrors inside the house are much more than that.
In all corners of the room, scattered are the gnawed white bones, which seem to tell a silent horror.
What's even more terrifying is that in the center of the room there is a bloody skeleton of a girl who has lost her skin, and her eyes are hollow, as if she is indicting the cruelty of the world.
The whole room was filled with an air of death and terror
It makes you feel like you're in hell.
